    Am I having a false memory here, or do I have a vague recollection that there was a prototype of a Master figure from End of Time with a blue skull-revealed head?

    Quick Question, has any TARDIS Mags been released since the Eldrad lives and 7th Heaven copys were printed. (Must be a couple of years now) Really enjoyed those Copy’s and wondered if I had missed any since. How often are they Printed?

      Converse are expensive but it’s best to just buy them from converse themselves. I got the black ones to go with my tux and they cost around £60 from memory, but might have been cheaper due to it being my first purchase from them.

    Has anyone seen the Fifteenth Doctor Sonic Screwdriver’s on ebay?
    Listed as ‘Dr Who 15th Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver Deluxe Edition SDCC/Online’ with a description saying ‘Exclusive to San Diego Comic Con and an Online UK Exclusive is the 15th Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver limited deluxe edition.’
    I was wondering if a) this is real, and b) who will be selling the UK one (Character, Forbidden Planet)?

    Happened to find a Seveth doctor German dvd while on holiday for a few coins. Its called seventh doctor volume 2, five discs, includes all stories in season 25, and was made 2015. Am getting the new bluray collection set anyway but am wondering, does it include the vhs extended version of silver nemesis and/or is it restored a little from the normal dvds?

      I don’t have this myself so I can’t say whether there has been any further restoration from the UK DVD releases, but I do know that the VHS version of Silver Nemesis was included in this set.

    • Gordon

      July 23rd, 2024 - 6:08pm

      It wasn’t included on the separate german season releases however It was included on the complete 7th doctor German release. The version that was included in the German release however used a mix of the dvd restoration and vhs footage due to the extended master tapes being lost at that time. However a couple of months after the release the master tapes were discovered as it had been mislabeled so the version on the collection set will be using the rediscovered master tapes.

    • Bellal

      July 23rd, 2024 - 6:17pm

      Many thanks for the responses. Have gotten home and looked at the dvds. The release, as you’ve said, isn’t the same as the complete 7th doctor boxset sadly, and doesn’t have the extended version. The picture quality looks like the normal dvd. Obselete soon anyway with the collection box. Was just curious

    Might be a daft question, but are any companies allowed to release merchandise of the Kandy Man from The Happiness Patrol? I’m aware the BBC defended themselves against a complaint from Basset’s and were adamant no copyright infringement had been committed, so are they just steering clear?

      Sorry my bad, it’s not fan made, but you’re probably not familiar with the name. Black tree design are the people who sell the harlequin figures nowadays, but since I only got into buying them under black tree, that’s what I always call them, but fans are probably more familiar with calling them harlequin miniatures.

      Ah yes nice if you can get the well painted on ebay. I know they did a wide range of smal scale Who figures. Pity warlord fizzled out nabbed a few of their’s well painted for a decent price too. I’d have liked their ‘Tomb’ diorama.

    Remembering how certain websites kept quiet about JNT’s collection being sold (not meaning this one, if it even existed back then), people might be interested in the auction ending July 5th at The Pump House. There are things of interest to many people here, some mislabelled in a bad way, some mislabelled in a find a bargain way. Just don’t bid on the things I want!

      Grahame Mallard as Harg (not Harry, as the listing would have it, and not Davison era – someone at the auction house didn’t check wikipedia…).

      I’m particularly looking at the Cyberman head, as that looks like a pull from the original mould or at least a new mould taken from a genuine prop, what with how the grooves are made.

    • Rex F

      July 5th, 2024 - 5:10pm

      Anyone buy anything? That auction house doesn’t publish prices unfortunately. I know there would have been people here keen to own the big original Skilleter Dalek artwork, if not the props and costumes.

      If you’re lazy like me, nearly every UK auction shows up on the-saleroom.com – but be warned, it’s very addictive. If some of the auction houses didn’t make delivery so complicated and expensive, I’d probably be bankrupt.

    • Mrs Croot

      July 2nd, 2024 - 10:42am

      Gonna assume that all the first editions where at that doctor who convention there (mom comic con was it?), you could see them on display. Maybe they sold really well and were onto a second run, and any first editions are left overs. Maybe they didn’t sell well but first edition was a smaller run only made for the convention, so there’s going to be less. Just some theories.

    • anon

      July 2nd, 2024 - 2:11pm

      I contacted the Publishers to find out & they told me they did 2 small print runs of this title. Obviously the First Edition is now harder to get hold of. This is the first time in buying many Doctor Who books, that I have had difficulty in getting hold of a First Edition copy. So leaving a gap in my collection!

What kind of person is going to endure a fifteen minute video (fifteen!) so that they can see two iffy images and hear tons of waffle? I’d rather just come here and read facts, see good pictures, and find useful info. One stop shop, no BS = great.

      One of the perils of going on X, which I’m doing less and less now, is the number of muppets childishly posting spoilers and unwanted reveals – I just barely avoided Sutekh spoilers before the BBC aired the final episode, and now I cannot unsee the new B&M wave the algorithm just plonked on my screen. I was really enjoying the anticipation of the official reveal, and its gone just because some twit wanted to show off and feel big for 5 seconds… :O(

    I’m astounded to discover that my one time favourite choice to play the Doctor – Robert Powell – provides the voice of the ‘Time Lord Immemorial’ in the audio release of the same name. As someone who has always found the audios to be something of a let down, I’m curious to know if this one is considered to be any good. It appears to be a ninth Dr. story and I never much cared for Eccleston’s era. So is it worth a listen ?

      It’s part of an arc so you may find yourself lost, especially considering there are other audio original characters included. Granted, I did enjoy this one but I do love Liv and the Lumiat and Nine a loooot.

      Thanks for the info. Really wish Robert had got the role when Tom left – would have changed the course of the show for the better I reckon. If I bought this it would be on the basis of wanting to hear him.
